Compliance and Immigration Services

The office of Human Resources Compliance and Immigration Services (HR-CIS) exists to promote and monitor University compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and University policies and procedures, and to provide high-quality immigration assistance to non-U.S. faculty and staff seeking admission, work authorization, and permanent legal residence in the U.S.

We offer assistance and resources in a variety of areas, including:

Monitoring developments in Congress, federal agencies, and in the courts for information that may be pertinent to the University.

Alerting UHR and the University community to issues of interest identified by federal and state agencies such the IRS, Department of Labor, Department of Homeland Security, and others

Facilitating policy development within UHR and coordinating all interaction with the University Policy Review Committee and Policy Manager

Providing legislative analysis of bills potentially impacting UHR or the University community during annual sessions of the Virginia legislature

We do not provide legal advice, but can help refer questions requiring legal counsel to Immigration counsel specially appointed by the Virginia Attorney General to advise the University. Individuals seeking or needing personal legal advice should consult their own attorney.
